Mess with the best, die like the rest It’s been relatively quiet on the PlayStation VR front, but here’s some good news for the not-too-distant future: the cyberpunk hacking puzzle gameDarknetis getting a port in “early 2017,” priced at $15. In his review of the Oculus Rift version, Chris describedDarknetas “something that could technically work in a traditional, non-VR environment,” but said its immersive nature felt “justified.” The PSVR port, a collaboration between E McNeill and Archiact, sounds largely the same....

COC QASMOKE is the new IDKFA Fallout 4‘s the type of game that’s dripping with secrets for the community to discover. Its open world holds so much potential to hide things from players, knowing that they’ll inevitably find them. One such room has been found in the PC version of the game, and it’ll make anyone who goes there the Supreme Overlord of the Wasteland. By using the console command “COC QASMOKE” on PC, players are transported to a room that looks to contain every item in the game....

This whole damn courtroom is out of order, the vending machine is out of order! Remember when Nintendokeptgettingsuedover the Wii remote? Fun times. One such suit was filed by Triton Tech of Texas, LLC in 2010. At that time, the Seattle district court dismissed the suit, deciding that Nintendo wasn’t a bunch of biters. Last Friday, a federal appeals court upheld the decision that the patent infringement asserted against Nintendo was invalid....

Also, Falconeer is already on Game Pass OneFinal Fantasygame shall stand, one shall fall. That latter game isFinal Fantasy XV, which recently left the Xbox Game Pass service. But some would say that Microsoft is “trading up,” asFinal Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Ageis about to enter center stage. Starting on February 11,FFXIIwill be available on Xbox Game Pass on both consoles and PC. It’s a pretty nice get, alongside ofJurassic World Evolution, Stealth Inc....

Locked in at 720p, but there’s already a fix Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cutcoming to Steam — even if it weirdly had to go through Greenlight for approval — is a very good thing. What’s not quite so good is the fact that this version is locked in at 720p. After fixingDark Soulson PC, Durante is back withDPfix, currently in alpha. It allows users to customize the rendering and display options, something that’s sorely missing from this port....

Amid the onslaught ofGDC coveragethis week, Jim managed to snag an interview with ex-Destructoid-writer-now-Gearbox-head-writer-three-more-hyphens Anthony Burch concerningBorderlands 2‘s primary antagonist,Handsome Jack. I know it’s still early on, but I’m already getting a real “love to hate” kinda feeling about him, which is just about the highest praise I can award a videogame villain. Looking good so far, Burch and company! Truth be told, though, I think I’m most excited to see how they manage to “tie”Borderlands 2into the Star Wars universe....

You’ve been extra naughty! I was trying to come up with a catchy Christmas pun to headline the article, then I realized that would be super cliche. So, forget about that nonsense and let’s jump straight into the news.Hitmanis going to be receiving a free holiday themed mission soon. Dubbed “Holiday Hoarders,” the mission takes place on the Paris level with a plethora of holiday decorations. Two thieves break into the fashion show and are looking to steal all of the presents scattered around the venue....

Kratos on DLSS It’s still super weird to boot up what is ostensibly a “PlayStation game,” then see the Xbox controller prompts on-screen, baked in. What a wild world! But here we arewith Sony dabbling in the PC realm. We’ve been here once before withHorizon Zero Dawn, and now we’re entering the mythological realm ofGod of War2018. It goes without saying thatif you haven’t played the newGod of Waryet, you probably should....

Stadia is prioritizing external developers and publishers We tend to associate Stadia with third-party games likeAssassin’s Creed OdysseyandCyberpunk 2077rather than home-grown games created from within Google, and that’ll remain the case.As announced today, the company is moving away from developing games internally. The other shoe has dropped. Google isn’t abandoning the Stadia technology or brand, but it “will not be investing further in bringing exclusive content from our internal development team [Stadia Games and Entertainment], beyond any near-term planned games,” according to Stadia VP Phil Harrison....

‘And I’m still sitting where I was?!’ This is just too adorable. A 90-year-old grandma is given theOculus Riftto try out and her mind is just absolutely blown away by it. To think, just 90 years ago the first television sets were introduced to the world. Now we actually have fully immersive tech like the Rift. Can’t help but wonder how much more technology is going to evolve by the time I turn 90....

SEGA has released a new trailer forAliens: Colonial Marines. It’s exclusive to IGN, but you can view their Youtube version of the video just above. There’s no gameplay footage, which I’d really like more of at this stage, but the trailer is nonetheless very cool. The Xenomorph fanboy in me loves the way it’s been set up, so I can’t complain too much. Still, next time let’s see more of the game in action....
